Harry Styles is on a roll with his surprise tactics, dropping the unannounced Live From Funkhaus studio sessions on YouTube.
The intimate, special performances — shot in Funkhaus, a historic audio complex in East Berlin — feature three songs from Styles’ fourth studio record, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Directed by Stella Blackmon, the video opens with backdrops of the city during winter, with the English singer-songwriter even playfully sneezing while wearing a coat.
The first performance is “Season 2 Weight Loss,” complete with piano, orchestra, and drums. Reimagining the album’s seventh track, the synths that reminisce about an ’80s 8-bit video game remain, now enhanced by the added pizzazz of violins that make this rendition something to behold.
“Paint By Numbers” is next, which Styles says is the 73rd take. The song doesn’t undergo much change but still delivers the same emotional journey as on the record itself, serving as the second-to-last track.
“Coming Up Roses,” which Billboard Philippines ranked as the second-best track on the album, captures the sweeping melodies and poignancy that evoke a blossoming montage seen in movies, where everything seems to go right.
Though more songs could have been performed, we understand that these are the tracks that lean toward the more vulnerable side of the record. However, with renditions from Styles like this, we’re not complaining.

Released on March 6, 2026, the album successfully blends disco and dance elements with the intimacy and vulnerability of this stage in the Grammy-winning artist’s personal life.
Styles gears up for his upcoming third concert tour, ‘Together, Together,’ which kicks off with a 10-night residency at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from May 16 to June 5.
